St. Paul daily globe., 1887-10-13

Mandan saloon, but he got the bounce
there and went back to the road shovel
ing gravel. His constitution wasn't
strong enough for this character of work,
and, after two days welding the shovel,
he quit, and loading up with Dakota
whisky went down to the railroad offices
and demanded his pay. Mr.. Greene
wanted to settle with him on a
basis of S1.25 per day, but Kelly said the
road master had promised him $l.75 per
diem, and he wouldn't take cent less.
Mr.. Greene said he would see the road
master, and if he mad been promised
those wages they would be paid him.
In the long run Kelly got red-headed
and cursed Greene from the four points
OF the compass, but this bluff didn't
work, and, leaving the office in rage,
he soon returned with Winchester
rifle, and began pumping cartridges
into 1t, asking Greene while so doing if
he intended to pay him. Greene said
he would go out and see the roadmaSter
about 1T, and started to leave the room.
He had taken about two steps when
bang went the rifle, and the bullet sung
past his ear and went out through the
window. Kelly ran out through the
door to get another shot at Greene on
the platform, but conductor met him
Knocked him down. 1t took six men fif-
teen minutes to get the rifle away from
Kelly, he all the time swearing ven
geance on Greene and the train dis
patcher. He was arrested and placed
under 5000. In default of bail he was
thrown into Jail, and Will probably lie
there until the district court sets next
August. Mr.. Greene thinks the recep-
tiOn given the president in st. Paul was
splendid III every feature and was
enough to make any mans heart swell
with gratitude.
JAMES STACK.
James Stack, heavy man of mod
crate manners, an honest face and
bright red mOuStache, was at the Ryan
yesterday accompanied by his wife. Mr..
Stack was formerly a resident of Fargo,
Oak, but now halls from West Supe-
rlor, where. rumOr says, he is getting
rich because he has invested luckily in
West Superior real estate. When Stack
was Dakota citizen he was a justice
OF the peace, and dealt out Dakota law
at high prices. He had genial way
with him and magnanimOuS heart, and
being one of the boys, the other boys, if
by chance they got into trouble, would
always take venue to Stacks court
where they invariably received proper
and brOtherly consideration. But pOlit-
iCdl dllu OlileI IcNeTSeS came 100 HullleE-
GUS to mention, and Stack, who had al
ways ranked under the law that barred
him from voting for the president of
the United States, pulled up stakes and
drlfted to the shores of Lake Superior,
where he has DrOSpered, and is now en-
Joying the sweets of life as the prOprie
tor OF the tower, the leading hotel in
West Superior, and house that ranks
with the best in that part of the country.
He says since Old Superior was taken
into the limits West Superior numbers
5000 inhabitants, and is boomer from
the word 90. He insists that the town
will enjoy big boom this winter.
